ASTM International announces that Julie H. Kilgore, principal and managing partner at Wasatch Environmental in Salt Lake City, Utah, has become a member of the ASTM International Board of Directors for 2005 to 2007.
Kilgore, who lives in Sandy, Utah, joined ASTM International and Committee E50 on Environmental Assessment, Risk Management, and Corrective Action in 1994 and is the chair of Subcommittee E50.02 on Real Estate Assessment and Management. Kilgore chairs the task group responsible for developing E 1527, Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process, which was specifically designated by Congress to serve as the national standard for conducting all appropriate inquiry until the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency promulgates its own regulation.
As a result of her expertise, EPA appointed Kilgore to a federal advisory regulatory negotiating committee that successfully developed a consensus regulation related to the environmental site assessment area that EPA published as a proposed rule in the August 26, 2004, Federal Register.
In her career, Kilgore has concentrated on facilitating business and environmental management relationships, and she has worked to instill business management principles into the environmental investigation, remediation and restoration field. She provides training and lectures to professional groups and regulatory agencies about the environmental site assessment process and related ASTM standards.
In addition to ASTM International, Kilgore is involved in the Environmental Affairs Committee of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, is president of the Utah Womens Alliance for Building Community, and serves on the Board of Trustees for the Salt Lake City homeless shelter.
A graduate of Westminster College in Salt Lake City with a B.S. in environmental management, Kilgore received her M.B.A. from the University of Utah.
